This is a short article on how to complete Salah (prayer) as a latecomer. However, we should always hurry up to the mosque (for males) to start the Salah with the congregation. We pray Allaah accept our acts of worship and pardon us our shortcomings!


It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (7/322):

Question: I would like to know more about how a latecomer should pray:

1- If the imam has already prayed one or two rak’ahs of Maghrib

2- If the imam has already prayed one or two rak’ahs of a four-rak’ah prayer.

What should he recite? Should he recite al-Faatihah only or another soorah as well?

Answer:

Whatever the latecomer catches up with of the prayer with his imam is regarded as the first part of his prayer. So whoever catches up with one rak’ah of Maghrib, that is regarded as being the first part of his prayer. So he should stand up after the imam says the salaam and make up what he missed. In the first rak’ah he makes up he should recite al-Faatihah and another soorah or verses, because it is the second rak’ah for him. Then he should sit and recite the first tashahhud. Then when he stands up to make up the remaining rak’ah of Maghrib he should recite al-Faatihah only, because it is the third rak’ah for him. Then he should sit and recite the final tashahhud. If what he missed of Maghrib was one rak’ah, and he caught up with two rak’ahs with the imam, then he should recite al-Faatihah only in the last rak’ah that he makes up after the imam says the salaam, because it is the third rak’ah for him.

If it is a four-rak’ah prayer and he catches up with three or two rak’ahs with the imam, then he should recite al-Faatihah only in the one or two rak’ahs that he makes up, because that is the latter part of the prayer for him, so he does not have to recite another soorah as well as al-Faatihah. This is the correct scholarly view. And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

Rashduct4luv:


There is a difference of opinions on this.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The (scholarly) opinions boil down to three: two opposite views and one in the middle. One of the two opposite views is the view that he should not recite behind the imam in any circumstances. The second view is that he should recite behind the imam in all circumstances. The third view, which is the view of the majority of the early generations, is that if he can hear the recitation of the imam, he should listen attentively and not recite.

End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 23/265

However, i follow based on the evidence below:



It was narrated in a saheeh report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite it (al-Fatiha) in every rak’ah. Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Baari: “It was proven that permission was given to the one who is praying behind an imaam to recite al-Faatihah in prayers in which Qur’aan is to be recited out loud, without any exceptions. That is what was narrated by al-Bukhaari in Juz’ al-Qiraa’ah, and by al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibbaan and others, from Makhool from Mahmood ibn al-Rabee’ from ‘Ubaadah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stumbled in his recitation in Fajr, and when he finished he said, “Perhaps you recite behind your imaam?” They said, “Yes,” He said, “Do not do that, except for the Opening of the Book (al-Faaithah), for there is no prayer for the one who does not recite it.”

....

So the Imam and the congregation both recites Fatiha .

Folabimi:

Just to be clear pls, in maghrib, if I miss two rakats, does that mean I should perform the first rakat loudly with fatiha and any other surah and the second rakat silently with fatiha only?

Yomiwayne80:


From the explanation...... If you missed 2 Rakahs in maghrib..... It means you caught up with the last Rakah with the Imam.... This last Rakah will now be your First Rakah. Remaining second and Third Rakah of your maghrib.

So perform the second Rakah as you would do on your second maghrib rakah. And likewise the third rakah as you would do on your normal maghrib third rakah.

I didn't ask for your personal opinion neither did I asked for what you follow

Fundamentalist:
Even if I respect your opinion which I didn't ask for , does that mean that those who remain silent when the imam is reciting aloud have invalid prayers ?
